About Foyer Maillard

This non-profit long-term care home offers 125 private rooms of fully subsidized residential care, making it a place where older adults can receive the support they need without the financial burden that often comes with private care options. More than a care facility, Foyer Maillard is a community where residents, families, and staff come together to create a meaningful and dignified quality of life.

Living Options & Care Levels

Foyer Maillard is dedicated to providing long-term care for older adults who require ongoing support with daily living. This level of care is designed for individuals whose needs have grown beyond what can be managed at home, offering a safe and structured environment where residents receive consistent, attentive care every day. Because placement at Foyer Maillard is fully subsidized, the focus remains entirely on the well-being of each resident rather than on financial considerations. All placements are arranged through Fraser Health, which conducts assessments to determine eligibility and match residents with appropriate care settings. For families navigating this process, reaching out to Fraser Health directly is the first step toward exploring whether Foyer Maillard might be the right fit for your loved one. The care provided here is not just about meeting physical needs but about supporting the whole person through a stage of life that calls for compassion, respect, and consistency.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

One of the most important parts of daily life at Foyer Maillard is the dining experience, which brings residents together around nourishing, freshly prepared meals three times a day. Food services are provided by Angel Food and Support Services, a team committed to preparing meals onsite that align with the nutritional standards outlined in Canada’s Food Guide. There is something reassuring about knowing that every meal is made from scratch in the facility’s own kitchen, with care given to both quality and variety. Residents are encouraged to gather in the dining room for meals, which naturally creates opportunities for conversation, connection, and a sense of routine that many find comforting. For those days when a resident needs to stay in their room, meal trays are available to ensure no one goes without. Snacks are also offered throughout the day and before bed, so residents never have to wait long between meals if they are feeling hungry. Families and friends are warmly invited to join residents at mealtimes, adding another layer of connection to an already community-centered environment. Guest dining arrangements simply need to be made one day in advance, and residents may invite up to five guests at a time, making it easy to share a meal and a moment with the people who matter most.
